Thanks. I wasn't aware of that film.

I'd also have to agree that there's been quite a few "post-apocalyptic
movies" in general before _Mad Max II_. _The Time Mashine_ (1960) would be
another example. I do think however that _Waterworld_, _Reign of Fire_ and
_The Postman_ more or less take their lead directly form the success of the
_Mad Max_ movies. _The Crow_ which I overlooked in my first post doesn't
fit the category very well at all, as Jim has noted.
